Anyone replaced their own 'vert rear window?

How hard was it? Any tips or tricks you would recommend? The new window is surprisingly cheap through the dealer (only $300 with CCA discount) and it comes with a special installation kit, but I was looking for someone with experience to chime in. Thanks!

I did it on my previous cabrio in the mid-'90s. I recall it was a pain in the freakin' ass to get the zipper started. But if I could do it, and that's a pretty low bar, then you'll probably find it easy.
